9 months or 10?

Roughly 31 days in a month.
31 divided by 7 (days in a week) equals 4.4 weeks in 1 month.

40 weeks divided by 4.4 equals 9. So you have 9 months that your pregnant.  


That's why some weeks like week 26 is end of 6th month beginning of month 7th

It really is 9 months just do 40wks x 7days =280 divide by 9 months and u get 31.1111 :) but can see how it gets confusing because your due date might be the 20th of a certain month but it will have u at 6 months in weeks like 2 weeks prior

You have 4.4 weeks in a month. But most people say oh there's only 4 weeks. But it's 4.4 weeks per month. So your pregnant for 9 months.
